Jack like everyone else here I am incredibly grateful for your video. Many indie developers myself included are totally lost when it comes to marketing their game and this video goes a long way towards helping us know where to begin!
Keep it up mate!

Fantastic work this is absolutely invaluable - thanks Jackterror!
Btw out of interest did you help with all chapters of the game, or just the final one?

OMG... apologies for missing this!!! Our most successful lately is: [Name]'s Steam Key for [Game Name], [Short Title] So for us the mailchimp subject is: *|SCREEN|*'s Steam Key for Albino Lullaby, Horror Game, PC or Oculus Knowing that a Steam key is easily accessible, makes it more likely that they will take a quick look. Since time has passed, what have you had luck with lately?

Great list of tips! While I was familiar with most of things mentioned, the checklists will especially be very useful in the near future. Thanks!

This is kind of a cool spin on how to use streamers and early release to get some outside the box stuff going. Just PreReleased Mondays Albino Lullaby Oculus Launch Trailer on Reddit if anyone wants to check it out or upvote. Did some cool use of mashing up LetsPlay streams to make it. https://redd.it/4c2lf0

Don't have time to read the whole thread, but could you share your mailing list of journalists/youtubers that I can mail about the game I'm working on? I mean, getting 15000 addresses is kinda hard, so mailing list would be very useful.

You can scoop off these - YouTuber and Twitcher Lists Discussed in Class: Good YouTuber List: http://videogamecaster.comAmazing YouTuber List: http://youtubers.brightside-games.comAmazing Twitcher List: http://tinybuild.com/twitchI can't just give you our press list, fireable offense, the same as stealing proprietary code from a company, but the reality is there are no shortcuts. Our list is primarily people who write articles on horror games. It really does just take a bunch of legwork and getting to know the journalists who would write about your type of game. A huge spam email will never work, you need to almost start these people and be short an sweet while speaking to something you know they will like.

They should let you in without an issue, I think it had to request access to it at one point also. If you don't get in drop me a line.

It was worth a try to ask. Seems like the Amazing Twitcher List: http://tinybuild.com/twitch is no longer available. This is also confirmed on: http://videogamecaster.com/big-list-of-youtubers Is that one of the lists that you had to request or could it be requested? I guess it's worth a try. Also, it seems like quite a few YouTubers don't have e-mails mentioned at: http://videogamecaster.com/big-list-of-youtubersIs it worthwile to contact them on YouTube or might be better to see if their e-mail is available on their website/blog/etc?
